The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 799

When Tianyun envoy returned to the capital and reported his eternal request to Bai Yunyi, Bai Yunyi was so angry that he cursed, but at this time he had no choice.

Now, the Tianhua army is attacking from both directions. On the east road, there is Zhang Yi blocking it, and the Leizhou army is still unable to cross the thunder pool for the time being.But on the North Road, the Tianhua Army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, constantly conquering the pass and advancing step by step. The entire Fengzhou defense line has become riddled with holes.Because of the short operating days of the Fengzhou defense line, various defensive measures have not been perfected.Coupled with the superiority of the Tianhua Army in combat power and armament, the Tianyun Army in Fengzhou was completely unable to resist.

It can be said that the military newspaper reported several times a day, all of which were bad news, either this pass was captured, or that pass was lost.Seeing Bai Yunyi trembling with fear, fidgeting restlessly.There is no way, the current Fengzhou defense line is too close to the capital, the distance is less than three hundred miles, once Tianhua breaks through, it will face the wide and flat plain of Yunzhou.It only takes three days to reach Floating Cloud City.

After thinking over and over again, Bai Yunyi had no choice but to agree to the conditions proposed by Yong Yong. Now that Yun has reached the verge of subjugation, what if he keeps gunpowder technology?The most important thing now is to immediately pull Eternal into the water, and rely on their strength to stop Tianhua's footsteps.

Therefore, Bai Yunyi immediately ordered a group of craftsmen to be selected from the Gunpowder Bureau, with the formula and craftsmanship of gunpowder and artillery, and ordered the envoys to send them to Eternity immediately, asking Eternity to send troops immediately after getting what they wanted.

When the Tianyun envoys rushed towards Xuezhou, the Tianhua army in Fengzhou had already advanced to Yuling Pass, the most important pass of the Tianyun defense line.As long as the Yuling Pass is cleared, the remaining checkpoints will no longer be able to stop the Tianyun Army, and the army can directly pour into the Yunzhou Plain.

But Yuling Pass is far from being comparable to other passes. It exists as one of the ten most dangerous passes in the Central Plains.It can be compared with Polang Pass, Tianjing Pass and other major passes.It is stuck in the dangerous pass leading to Yunzhou in the Yufeng Mountains. Before and after this pass is a narrow mountain road that is more than ten miles long. It is impossible to deploy troops here.

If the army wanted to circumvent this pass, they would have to detour for hundreds of miles and go west through a stretch of mountains to reach the Tuoling River.But the Tuoling River is not only fast-flowing, but also has the Tianyun navy stationed there, it is too difficult for the Tianhua army to swim across this river.But to the east is a large area of ​​dense forests and high mountains, stretching endlessly, and the army may not be able to go out even if it is a month.

After some weighing, Zheng Han decided to fight on this Yuling Pass, and with the advantage of the artillery, blast down the opponent's pass wall.Now that time is on their Tianhua's side, he doesn't believe it anymore, how long can this dangerous pass last with artillery bombing day and night?

Soon, on the mountain road about two miles away from Yuling Pass, the Tianhua Army began to build forts around. Off the slope, build forts of different heights on it.

After two days of construction, more than 100 cannons were placed in a patchwork order near the mountains and the ground.After some debugging and shooting, the artillery finally began to fully display its power, pouring shells to Yuling Pass uninterruptedly.

It has to be said that Tianhua's artillery technology is already far ahead of Tianyun's.When their artillery can only reach more than one mile, the Tianhua artillery can already attack the opponent from two miles away.This is the so-called technical advantage. The Tianyun army can only silently bear the baptism of the opponent's artillery, but it is completely unable to launch any counterattack.

Fortunately, the walls of Yuling Pass are thick, and they still stand firm under the continuous impact of Tianhua artillery.But Ma Kuiming, the general, frowned, stood on the viewing platform, watching the opponent's army from afar.

This Yuling Pass was not only the barrier they relied on to resist Tianhua, but at the same time, they could not launch a counterattack against Tianhua.The narrow mountain road seriously hindered the deployment of soldiers and horses.The opponent only needs to deploy a thousand soldiers and horses in the front row of the artillery, which is enough to withstand the impact of the army.

Although Yuling Pass is thick, it cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of artillery.Tianhua is powerful and has enough patience and shells to consume here.However, the Tianyun Army had no way to continue to persevere. It has been more than a month now, and half of the army's food and grass have been consumed.If a batch of grain and grass had not been mobilized, the army would have collapsed before Yuling Pass fell.

It was night, and Ma Kuiming immediately organized a group of elite soldiers and horses, taking advantage of the darkness, to sneak up to the front of the Tianhua formation, in an attempt to destroy their artillery formation.

However, just as they were about to get close to the artillery formation, a burst of fireworks flew into the air with a whistling sound, exploding a bright firework.Then I heard the sound of neat footsteps in front of the artillery.

When Tian Yunjun heard this, he secretly thought that something was wrong.But relying on the darkness, they did not retreat but advanced, and immediately showed their figures and charged at each other.At this time, the distance between the two sides is less than 200 meters, and they can reach it in dozens of breaths. No matter how fast the other party reacts, they can't stop them from rushing into it.As long as it can disrupt the enemy's formation and wait for an opportunity to destroy the opponent's artillery battle, then the goal of this battle will be achieved.

At this moment, they heard a crackling sound from the other party, and dense flames suddenly flashed in front of their eyes.Immediately, many people felt as if their bodies had been pierced by something, and a burst of severe pain instantly permeated their whole bodies, their whole bodies went limp, and they couldn't help but fall to the ground.The comrades behind were still rushing forward, while the flames and sounds of the opponent continued on the battlefield. Countless people fell on this narrow mountain road, and the sound of wailing was endless.

Finally, General Tian Yun, who was in charge of the raid, finally realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.At this time, the sound of artillery rang out, and dozens of shells slashed across the mountain road, plowing out dense lines of blood among the crowd.

Less than 300 soldiers and horses fled back to the pass in embarrassment, and the remaining six to seven hundred troops all fell on the mountain road.Ma Kuiming looked at the raiding soldiers who had suffered heavy losses, and his expression became gloomy.At this time, he finally realized that the Musketeers that the Tianhua Army had fully expanded before were so powerful.If it is applied to intensive large army battles, it can be said to be invincible.

Ma Kuiming had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​a surprise attack, and ordered the entire army to guard the pass. At the same time, he organized troops to build a new pass a few miles behind Yuling Pass.

Just when the Tianhua Army was blocked at Yuling Pass, the Tianyun messenger finally sent the crafts and craftsmen that Eternal asked for to the Winter Palace, and repeatedly begged Tuo Muxiong to send troops immediately.

After getting these technologies and craftsmen, Tuo Muxiong was very happy, and immediately ordered people to send these people into the workshop to preside over the production of gunpowder and artillery.

Immediately, Tuo Muxiong did not break his promise, and immediately led the coalition army of 25 soldiers and horses to march towards Tianyun.
